I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it
perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Hey do yall remember that movie where something happens to the president so they get a lookalike to take his place? Haven’t thought about it in years. Can’t imagine why it just suddenly popped into my head this morning.

The SCA has always been (and likely always will be) a great big mess, but I have met some of the best people in it.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.
He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.
He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.
Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”

Please do keep this in mind when Republicans say they have no choice but to cut Medicaid
oh my god, there's another $45 billion for detention facilities. "family residential centers"
they are funding a deportation squad
in total, it's ~$9 billion more for salaries over 5 years plus $14.4 billion to deport people, plus $5 billion for other activities - for a total of $28 billion more for ICE over 5 years
ICE is a $10.5 billion agency, so they're doing a 50% increase in funding

As a former Chief Wellness Officer, this is spot on. The work must go far deeper to change the culture of medicine which currently places “the work” above the humanity of those giving the much needed clinical care.
The burnout epidemic CANNOT be resolved with self care. It is job related. Hospital executives must improve working conditions : reduce template size, number of clicks in EHR, increase time with patients, appoint leaders who like and value clinical care.

If all patients meet #PalliativeCare early in serious illness, in my experience probably...
1/3 who won't/don't find it helpful
1/3 who are uncertain early, but see/get the benefit later
1/3 who get benefit from the start
So let PC meet everyone and let patients vote with their feet.

You are not loud enough to ask your question without a microphone. Go line up at the mic and make sure people can hear the question. People have hearing loss. Rooms have speakers for a reason. (also don't tell a story)
